College of Social Sciences and Professional Studies

Welcome to the College of Social Sciences & Professional Studies! Our programs offer opportunities for students to engage with issues of diversity, social justice, equality, sustainability, and globalization. The skills that are acquired in these disciplines and interdisciplines help students apply their knowledge towards making their communities – local, national, and/or global – more productive and fulfilling for the group and the individual.

The departments in the College offer a myriad of opportunities for students to engage with the community, including internships, local and international service learning, and collaborative research with faculty. For the latest updates on our College initiatives, you can look at our Current Initiatives page, follow us on Facebook or Twitter, or stop by the Office of the Dean in room 364 of Molinaro Hall!
